A €1 Billion Construction Site Famous for Its Graffiti
The street art surrounding Frankfurt's nearly-finished European Central Bank headquarters is an international draw.
The flashy, €1 billion new headquarters for the European Central Bank in Frankfurt is still a few months away from completion. But the graffiti-covered construction fence surrounding it is already getting lots of attention.
According to a Guardian article, it all started when local social worker Stefan Mohr asked if the children he works with could paint the fencing around the site. The bank said yes, and provided boards for them to paint too.
